Ingredients:

  - 2 large potatoes (about 500g), peeled

  - 1 tablespoon butter, melted

  - Salt and pepper to taste

  - Flour for dusting

  - Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions:

1- Begin by boiling the peeled potatoes in a large pot of salted water until they are fork-tender, usually about 15-20 minutes.

2- Drain the potatoes and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Mash them thoroughly until they are smooth and free of lumps.

3- Add the melted butter to the mashed potatoes and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well to ensure the butter and seasoning are evenly distributed throughout the mashed potatoes.

4- Once the potato mixture is ready, turn it out onto a clean, floured surface. Use your hands to gently knead the mixture into a smooth dough. Be careful not to overwork the dough, as this can make the farls tough.

5- Divide the dough into equal-sized portions, depending on how large you want your farls to be. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten it into a thin disc, about 1/4 inch thick.

6- Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add enough vegetable oil to coat the bottom of the pan.

7- Carefully transfer the potato farls to the hot pan, cooking them in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry each farl for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

8- Once cooked, remove the farls from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

9- Serve the Isle of Man Potato Farls warm, either on their own as a tasty snack or as a delicious accompaniment to your favorite breakfast or brunch dishes. Enjoy!
